Autonomous Driving: Part 2-Learning and Cognition [From the Guest Editors]

This special issue covering autonomous driving is presented in two parts: Part 1—Sensing and Perception was published in the July 2020 issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine and this issue, Part 2—Learning and Cognition. Learning and cognition models and, in particular, deep learning-based models are at the core of autonomous vehicles and automated driving. Autonomous driving and, more generally, automated driving are receiving increasing attention, and significant resources are being deployed to enable safe, reliable, and efficient automated mobility in real-world environments.
